The drawback for WebDAV is that it does not handle permissions. And  
NFS/AFS over the Internet is hazardous at best (though possible).

Linux has Fuse, which makes it quite easy to write file systems in  
userspace code. I wish there were something similar for OS X. That  
would make it quite easy to implement file systems based on sftp  
etc., or even file systems that hook directly into svn etc.
